On tap at CPK, London. It pours very dark brown with a thin layer of off-head. Aroma has lots of smoke, chocolate, licorice, molasses, a hint of cranberries and estery sweetness. Taste is farmhouse yeast notes, smoke, chocolate and a hint if coffee roast. Some roasty tartness and a hint of leather and brett and a bit banana esters. Mouthfeel is medium to full with good carbonation. Overall, very tasty and peculiar smoked beer.

[email protected] - dark beer almost black under a little persistent beige foam; a well-present smokiness with notes of bacon; full-bodied and with a solid carbonation; very tasty; decently bitter and with a long smokey finish with hints of bacon, licorice and black cherries - complex and subtle

Draft at Farmers’ Cabinet.
Pitch black and completely opaque with a one finger light beige head that quickly settles into a thin ring. Minimal lacing.
Huge smokey aroma with a strong rauch/smoked beer character. Smells like a complete smoke bomb with lots of butane, ashtray, campfire, BBQ and smoked bacon along with subtle spice and dark roasted malt. Really smokey but there’s also some burnt toast, dark chocolate, robust coffee and toffee in the nose.
Medium bodies with tight carbonation and an intense smoke flavor that lingers over the sweeter notes into a bone dry finish. Dry and slightly ashy with lots of smoke, charcoal and smoked meat. Although it’s dominated by the smoke character, it isn’t one dimensional with sweetness from booze and complex malt profile. Hints of robust coffee bean, dark chocolate, toast and oatmeal. Really nice smoke beer that’s intense while maintaining delicate, albeit subtle balance.
